Kickass, Kickstands!

I am so besides myself and proud of these special Saffa boys doing their incredible thing for the music industry! Gary Nixon and Rudi Greyvenstein, are the two power minds behind the prodigy that is 'The Kickstands'.  Talented in their own special traits and with a passion and never-give-up attitude these guys have grown, adapted and now this is what they are producing. With a solid south coast influence these guys should be SA’s next big thing! Check out Tamacun for some incredible SPanish style guit! Wicked boys!

A Delta Reincarnation

It is about time I attempt to put into words how I feel about some of the mentality I have stumbled across. Today, I introduce Shropshire born, Dan Owen, 22, the imaginary love-child of Leroy Carr and Robert Johnson. Pelting out, some serious blues notes and leaving you with the lingering sensation of marvelous melancholy. Take a listen to the immense ‘Blues Boy Dan’ for yourself. This kid is MAD talented! Joh- I can NOT wait to see him live! 

Beyond Belief

Right, so I have found something that is possibly one of the most remarkable discoveries of my life. Jake Bugg. Learnt that name, download that music and be prepared to be completely gobsmacked. Something about me, thanks to my Father, is that I am ridiculously obsessed with music and pretty much all of its genres. My obsession with country and its great lyrical contents really has been something I have been listening to since I was in the womb so my country lists includes most of people like this: John Prine, Kris Kristofferson, Iris Dement, Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, Johnny Cash, John Denver to name a few of my favourites but this kinda makes me stuck in the past. However, I can happily announce that my obsession has just become current. This cat is 18. 18 years old. The amount of soul this guy has is so refreshing to see and with a voice that makes you want to cry this guy will be massive. He is playing in London's 100 Club on 31st May (get tickets here) and if you miss it, you miss out. It is as simple as that. Bloody hell, my faith, once again in the current music industry has been restored. So guys, please support guys like this because they are the people that deserve it the most.
